Multinational aid convoy to head for besieged Gaza next month

A Jordanian delegation from the Lifeline for Gaza committee intends to participate in the multinational aid convoy slated to head for the besieged Gaza Strip on January 3, 2014 to deliver humanitarian assistance.

30 Jordanian figures, including members of trade unions and political parties, are expected to join the national aid convoy, which is composed of foreign and Arab activists representing different aid convoys from European, Arab and Islamic countries.

Organizers of the international aid convoy appealed in a statement to the Egyptian government to open the Rafah border crossing and contribute to their relief efforts aimed at alleviating the suffering of the Gaza people, who were afflicted lately by devastating rainstorms.
